Southwest Potatoes & Chicken

Southwest Potatoes & Chicken

The first meal that I ever made. Very, very easy. This meal makes you look like you know what you are doing but in actuality you have no clue. Great “Date Meal.” I’m telling you….chicks will love it.
*Extra cheese and filets never hurt nobody.
